10 pictures from our first day at the cabin since Thanksgiving last October. Cabin opening is messy business, particularly when you are also building a deck and the sleeping cabin roof collapsed and you find 2 dead mice in the bread bin and nearly faint, but there is still so much beauty and fun in the chaos and mess.

Now please take the time to visit one of my very favourite people and her gorgeous photos here: Melissa Weicker.

I am so happy to continue my 10 on 10 project this year with some of my favourite peoples. Please click the link at the end to see the wonderful Maria Manco's 10 and 10.

Here are 10 from our New Year's day walk through Lighthouse Park. We had a giant sleepover New Year's Eve after an eventful party and a very late night, yet we managed to get our butts out of bed, feed everyone and enjoy a walk in the trees with our gaggle of children. It was perfect way to start the new year.

I am happiest barefoot in the sunshine at my cabin in Vancouver, BC, with a really good beer in one hand and my scruffy husband in the other, surrounded by my 3 crazy kids and OCD dog. I am inspired by love and laughter and real life moments and truly believe that when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing.
